Sherwin Williams

Relic Bronze

SW 6132

Relic Bronze by Sherwin-Williams is a deep warm brown with pronounced yellow-amber undertones and an LRV of 17, placing it in the darker range of the spectrum. The hex value #906A3A reflects its rich, earthy character, which reads as a burnished bronze-gold in natural light. This color works well in studies, dining rooms, and accent walls where a grounded, warm atmosphere is needed.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Whole Wheat and Sienna Sand for tonal continuity, while Accessible Beige provides a lighter wall companion. Nomadic Desert offers a mid-range bridge tone, and Naval can serve as a contrasting dark accent.
